Producer | Director | Award Winning Dreamer
​
I am a dreamer, a creatively passionate soul…a storyteller. I am an award winning Director, Producer and Filmmaker. I am a Co-Founder & Co-Director of the Annual Wild West Film Festival in Northern, CA.
I have always been fascinated with the subtleties of physical, non verbal communication and the beautifully unique characteristics that make us each so different and so special. My style does not shy away from the quiet.
​
When I am not yelling action or marking up a script, you can find me walking my crazy dog with the love of my life Allison or on the golf course trying to improve my game…trying!

The Process
Development & Pre-ProductionOur first process milestone is the creative brief where we outline a series of 4 story keywords. these are a tangible representation of our objective for the film that considers the tone, outcome and unique facets of this story. we will also share how the story will come together in a set of storyboards and/or story synopsis. this will outline the story structure (plot), along with the places we’ll use to visually bring the story to life. This process can also consist of optioning scripts.ProductionOur second process milestone is where we head into the field to bring the storyboards to life. with a clear objective and story structure in place, we’ll look to capture exactly what we need in an intentional way.Post-ProductionOur third process milestone is to bring the film together in post-production. this stage comes together rather quickly because of the intention weaved throughout the process up until now. it’s not uncommon for our first cut to be approved because of this great deal of thought.Delivery & DistributionOur final process milestone is the delivery stage where the client finally gets to see all the hard work in completion and can share their brand film to the world. We also have relationships with various distribution channels if a projects requires more than local sharing.
The Power of Story-First Filmmaking
Emotion
Story is one of the most effective ways of moving your audience emotionally. Emotion is the gateway to changing beliefs and driving action. Moving people emotionally will create a more lasting connection than if we simply drown them in facts and features of our product or service.
Engagement
It is increasingly difficult to create a content that an audience will watch and stay with. A strong story structure cuts through the noise and helps to hold your audience tightly from the first to last frame.
Value
A strong story has been shown to increase the perceived value of the products or brands featured within the story. Story also increases the likelihood that the audience will donate or purchase your products.
Brand Founder Films
The purpose of the brand founder film is to show how and why a business came to be through the perspective of the founder. The film will explore the origin of the founders desire, love and passion for what they do and the actions they took to start their business. The film will showcase what the founder has built and what makes it unique. Ultimately, this is a film to get to know the Founder and to connect with their bigger why. The the film’s length could range from 2 to 4 minutes.
The founder film is great to use for an “about us” section on a website and for connecting with customers in a much more emotional way so that they know what you’re about and why you do what you do.

Music Videos
The objective is to create a music video through the use of story that reflects the philosophy or message behind an artist or song, to help promote brand recognition and generate more sales.
The music video is great to use as a promotional spot, on social media or the “about us” section on a website and for connecting with customers in a much more emotional way so that they connect with your brand, music or product.
